FYI – be careful near the road that goes from Shropshire Street down to the Shroppie Fly. A car has shed its oil to a point where the potholes are filled up, this is then being dragged out onto the main public highway.

Highways have been informed.

Note to Phillip Baker (ADCA) – I would be very happy to cast a vote for ADCA for all the good work you do but I emailed you using the link in your article on AOL and it bounced. Is there a typo in that link? I was asking how to vote for ADCA. Do you have to go into the Co-op to do it?

The roads in and around Audlem are in a shocking state and they’re getting worse not better.
The council will not do anything unless we report the issues.
So, EVERY road defect needs to be reported.

Cheshire East recently changed the tool used to report potholes. You now need to use:
https://trace.cheshireeast.gov.uk/
I may be cynical, but this site is more cumbersome to use than the older method.
Plus issues reported under the old system have not been moved across. So, currently it appears there are few issues.
I have no idea how this is progress, but it's Cheshire East we're talking about!

PLEASE REPORT EVERY DEFECT.

I've just spoken to a man from the Highways Dept. He said Broadways will have all the drains jetted on 29th January and the road will be closed for the day.

So they're going to tart it up and wreck it by putting 2 large TV's in it. Does this mean the existing management will be leaving?

How many times do we need to keep putting our black bins out in the Hope they will eventually be collected?
The village has bins all over the place. I gave up then decided to try once more this morning…

I can recommend a carpet fitter named Martin. He was prompt, efficient and did a really good job. Contact number 07778 550469.

Hi everyone. Bit of a long shot but is there anyone out there who is familiar with the Substack blog site? I’m trying to set up and send my first blog but I’m having difficulty in learning how to do it. Tried YouTube and am no wiser. Would appreciate a hands-on demonstration if possible. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Can anyone recommend a carpet fitter in the area?

Looking for friendly local cleaner. Days and times flexible.

Can anyone recommend a damp course specialist please? Ours appears to have failed, which we only discovered having redecorated a room over 2 days.

Only since mid December there has been dog mess appearing on the narrow bit of pavement alongside the sloping wall between Moorsfield Avenue and Tollgate Drive. This is now a regular occurrence and is very difficult for pedestrians to avoid it without going into the road.
I would ask the person responsible to pick up the mess so that we can safely walk along the pavement.

I was fortunate enough to dine in at the Lac Thai restaurant on two separate occasions over the festive period, and I have to say what a little gem this place is. Having previously only eaten takeaways from there, to sit in and experience the pleasant ambience and the excellent service was indeed a treat. Excellent food, beautifully presented and served with a beaming smile, is always appreciated. The meals are very reasonably priced, and the portions are quite generous. If you haven't yet tried it, I would strongly recommend it, because as they say, if you don't use it, you'll lose it. Happy New Year, everyone.

Hi Kate

Chris Fennell advertises he does freezer repairs on his website. He’s based in Market Drayton and repaired other appliances in the past for us and always been very good.

Water burst by 32 Heathfield Road. Reported to UU. Beware of black ice forming there and a pot hole now .

Can anyone recommend someone for freezer repairs?

 The residents at McKelvey Way, Marshall Drive and Ropewalk Close are being encouraged to complete a simple form to provide a mandate in order to enable the recently formed LPG Task Force to negotiate on behalf of the residents a substantially improved pricing structure than is currently being offered by their default LPG supplier.
It is important that as many residents as possible complete the form as this will  give considerable consumer leverage in the negotiations with alternate suppliers.
The current level of sign up is running at 60%. A deal from one supplier is offering a near 40% reduction in gas prices, this will benefit the whole estate.
There will be another drop off of the forms for those not yet signed up. These can be dropped off by hand or emailed to the addresses on the form. At this stage there is no commitment.
The small group driving this initiative have no commercial interests in or financial incentives from any of the LPG suppliers or associated company's  other than the price reduction that will apply to everybody.
Happy New Year and stay warm.

ANWYL LPG Task Force

Very sad and shocking to hear of the tragic death of Alan Patterson who died in the Baptist Church on Christmas eve. Our thoughts and prayers are with Judy and the family as they grieve his passing, so shortly after his induction as Minister in the church he loved.

Hi Alan. The next grey bin collection is Monday Jan 12th.

Hypervolt has proven faultless.

Whatever you buy, I suggest a tethered cable and get the longest length possible.
